Yarn Pr0ny Pics

Today was the annual sale at Knit n Knibble in Tampa. Here is my haul...



I didn't go apeshite crazy for a change. 1 ball of Austermann Step (hello 20% off), 2 skeins of Malabrigo (15% off), and 8 balls of Brilla for the drop stitch T-shirt I want to make (40% off). I believe I am set in the yarn dept for quite a while. Seriously, I think it's more that I'm totally spoiled by the Wollmeise colors... so now I find most other stuff kinda boring. I'm sure this yarn snobbery will pass.

Here is the pic I promised of the limited edition Tofutsies colorway



And a pic of my current favorite WIP - Diamante Socks using the Trekking my sis brought back from Germany (with cameo/pic hogging by Queue).

Yarn school and other goodies

Okay so I'm not posting on a regular basis and I need to fix that. I'm going to try to quickly update some stuff now and hopefully write more and post some pics later tonight.

YARN SCHOOL
It is official that me and Ms. M. are going to Yarn School in September. WOO HOOO!! I'm so excited. However, learning how to spin might be quite dangerous for the ol' checking account. :)

TOFUTSIES LIMITED EDITION
SWTC is putting out limited edition colors of their Tofutsies yarn every other month. I was able to snag a ball of the June color which is a nifty pink and black. It also comes along with a exclusive pattern. Super cool!! Pics will be posted later of the colorway. I purchased mine from The Yarn Grove and they will let you preorder the future colorways. There is also a sock club yahoo group which is open to all lovers of the Tofutsies yarn. You can click to join the yahoo group from here.

THE YARN GROVE
The customer service at this online yarn shop is AMAZING! With every order (I have placed 2 so far) I have received personalized notes and a small gift along with my shipment. This kind of service will make me continue to be a customer and to let others know that they should shop there too. Oh, and free shipping....woot!!
